ROUSE OF REFUGE.' NOTES.—Clerk
W. Lane has called a .meeting of the
House of Refuge. Committee at
the Town Hall, Clinton, on Tuesday,
Feb.. 12(13. 'At the .County Council
meeting in Goderich' last week, several
matters relating .to the French castle
were dealt, with. One was fora giant
to provide an organ for use durin g re-
ligious services, and this was
not out
of the way. The clergymen and other
Christian workers of bown rendered
their services gratuitously, therefore
a minister's •salary for this institution
is not required to he met in the county
expenses. An organ was badly needed;
the•gentlernen who conducted the ser.
vices appi eeiated an organ very much,
in assisting in the singing, and the in-
mates were delighted when' one was
there, 'deeply regretting its removal;
the Council doted a grant for this pur-
pose.-T.-Another
ur-pose: Another matter was the in-
crease of the salary of Mr and Mrs
French; their duties are numerous and
onerous; and ate well performed: every
little detail ,is well looked after by
Wein. The Council saw that their ser-
vices called for anincrease, and voted
such, the present salary being $550,
